Alive and kicking is my favorite response when someone asks how I am. It is always the truth and it doesn't get down into the dirty details of how I'm actually feeling. Honestly, do you think that people want to know how you are when they ask? Maybe people who actually know you do, but random strangers you meet in the grocery store or at your job don't really want to hear about your trials and tribulations. It is just a happy-go-lucky meaningless exchange of pleasantries.
I worked today at BCG and it was pretty darn busy. Everyone is super excited because Memorial Day Weekend is when we can officially say that planting stuff outside is safe, so they go nuts. I really love working there because not only are Betsy and Peter awesome, I love helping people find the right plants for them. It is a really interesting creative outlet and I really wish sometimes that I could really landscape in the summertime. One thing at a time though... I don't need to be starting a landscaping business while in the midst of other pursuits.
I'm off now to my amazing cousin Julie's graduation party. I can't even believe that she is already done with college. I am crazy proud of her. She is really something!
Since we're celebrating her graduation, here's a poem about my college graduation. What a day that was... 40 degrees and pouring rain and we still had graduation outside! It's a miracle that the UNH Class of 2004 didn't all die of pneumonia.
One hand
full of years ago
on a cold
and rainy day,
four years of hard work
came to an end
in the middle of a spring cold snap.
I accomplished something
no one in my family had ever done.
